Hello lovelies!

It's another day of Summer Challenge and today's topic is Red + Orange + Yellow Mani. I've done a simple three-tone gradient manicure using China Glaze Sun-Kissed, Orange You Hot? and OPI The Colour of Minnie.

As you will noticed I gave the gradient a 'grainy' look. I've achieved this by using a sponge for dish washing instead of makeup sponge. Sealed with Poshe Fast Drying Topcoat.

Hello lovelies,

I've reviewed SpaRitual Illume few days ago and I've also done a 3/4 gradient manicure with it which I'll show you today.

I've applied two thick coats of SpaRitual Illume as it has a semi-jelly formula. Then I started to create the gradient effect using two SpaRitual polishes - Knowledge and Clarity. Both Knowledge and Clarity are pink glitters so are great for gradient manicures. I've done the gradient effect on 3/4 of the nails just to make it a bit different.

So what do you think? Do you prefer gradient in the first half of the nail or on 3/4 of the nail?
